Hi Kim: Alibiography is a word I suppose I invented, suggesting a combination of Ben’s alibi. After all, he has needed to avoid jail time by participating in court mandated therapy. He adapts well to therapy rather straight away, and feels urged to confess “what makes him act the way he does,” and with an obligation to reveal to his wife, Kelly, all that he has kept inside, for far too long, thus, the semi-autobiographical aspect, an autobiography of his mind and in a way my own. Thank you for your question. I hope you enjoy the book.

Precisely, and please take note it is not the easiest book to read. One of my goals was to really strip everything down, and create the distortions, confusion and fragmentation of what it actually feels like to be severely mentally ill. It’s a pleasure interacting if and when I have the time. Thank you, graciously.
